A knife in love

Chapter 2803
Because Li Qiufeng and others suddenly appeared on the other side of the river, they thought they were cut off by Japanese pirates, so they were terrified.He was also worried that Zhang Gui and Murong Danyan would turn against each other and kill Murong Danyan, so he was extremely terrified.There are more than 100 officers and soldiers under Zhang Gui, and those brave barbarian sergeants will naturally follow his orders.If Zhang Guitie was determined to kill Murong Danyan, even if Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu, and Wang Xiaoyu resisted desperately, they might not be able to stop the siege of officers, soldiers and barbarians.But I didn't expect Zhang Gui to say such a thing, and said that reinforcements had arrived, even more incomprehensible, so after Zhang Gui finished speaking, Li Qiufeng, Qi Jiu and others looked at each other, not knowing what he said. What means.

Seeing the horrified expressions on the faces of Li Qiufeng and others, Zhang Gui laughed and said proudly: "Li Baihu, you are also a person who has seen the world, how come you are so frightened by the Japanese pirates today, even Daming You can’t even recognize the uniforms of officers and soldiers?”

Hearing Zhang Gui's words, Li Qiufeng's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but look to the other side of the river.I saw that the sergeant's armor was densely arrayed, and it was clearly the attire of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.Looking further into the distance, behind the sergeants there are banners waving, many of which are embroidered with patterns of dragons and tigers.If the Japanese pirates pretended to be officers and soldiers, they might be able to buy armor, but these military flags had so many designs that even if the Japanese pirates were prepared, they would definitely not be able to get them easily.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng was both surprised and happy, thinking that I asked Xu Yingyang the day before yesterday if the Jinyiwei he sent to report had arrived in the capital.Xu Yingyang said that it was more than [-] miles from Liaodong to the capital, and there were many mountains and rivers on the way. Even if Jin Yiwei, who went to report the news, galloped all the way without eating or drinking, he had only just arrived in the capital.Although there are officers and soldiers stationed in various parts of Liaodong, they are old, weak and remnant soldiers who cannot be used. Otherwise, Zhang Gui would not have to borrow troops from the barbarians.But looking at the team of officers and soldiers on the other side of the river, not only the armor is bright, but also the soldiers are mighty and majestic. They must be an elite army.Which route of soldiers and horses descended from the sky to help us deal with the Japanese pirates?

At this time, Qi Jiu and the others also saw that the soldiers on the other side of the river were not Japanese pirates, but officers and soldiers, and they were both surprised and happy.It's just that everyone is as thoughtful as Li Qiufeng, and they don't know where this soldier and horse came out of suddenly. Although they are facing each other across the river, the distance is only more than ten feet away, and they didn't even notice that this soldier and horse appeared before them behind.So everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and no one spoke for a while.

At this time, more than ten Japanese pirates' army formation had already left the beach, and slowly approached, getting closer and closer to the crowd.Although everyone knows that the reinforcements have arrived, there is only a big river in the middle. If the Japanese pirates attack them, if the reinforcements want to join the battle group, they have to go east to bypass the stone bridge outside the south gate of Dongliao County, and then turn west to kill them. to the battlefield.In this way, it took at least ten miles to rush to the battlefield to help everyone resist the Japanese pirates.But the tens of thousands of Japanese pirates are only a few hundred feet away from the crowd, if they attack with all their strength, they may have been killed by the Japanese pirates before the reinforcements arrive.Thinking of this, everyone's heart was full of joy and sorrow.

At this moment, the officers and soldiers lined up on the other side of the river suddenly moved from the center to the two wings, giving way to a passage several feet wide.A group of men in green clothes and green hats rushed out from the passage and rushed to the bank of the big river.Immediately afterwards, many bare-chested men came out of the passage carrying many wooden boards, and piled them all up on the shore.In the blink of an eye, the wooden planks on the other side of the river were piled up like a mountain.

Li Qiufeng and the others watched the Japanese pirates slowly approaching, and looked at the situation on the other side of the river, feeling uncertain in their hearts.Zhang Gui raised his eyes and sneered, then turned to Li Chengliang and said, "It turns out that some old friends of my father have arrived! I hope they are here to help me, not to see my jokes!"

When Zhang Gui said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "I just couldn't figure out where this group of people came from, but I saw the names on the flags, and knew that the soldiers from Shanhaiguan had arrived. Only then did I understand the reason. These old friends have been staring at me for a long time. Not only are the soldiers stationed in Shanhaiguan, but many soldiers have quietly left the customs and hid near the Daling River. For several months The former Laozi once received an official document from the county magistrate of Siyuan County, saying that the people in several villages on the north bank of the Daling River saw a large army passing by at night, and were worried that Tartars would go south to rob the people. But the county magistrate sent people to investigate. I couldn't see the soldiers and horses at all, so I reported the matter to the Liaoyang governor's office and the general army's office. I originally thought that this matter was just those stupid villagers who were chasing rumors and talking nonsense, and didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that, The villagers read it right, there was indeed a troop passing through the village. Damn it, it’s just that this troop was not the Tartars going south, but the troop sent by the Shanhaiguan General Army to leave the customs.”

Li Qiufeng listened to Zhang Gui and Li Chengliang talking, and suddenly remembered that in Yong'an City, he had heard Liu Kang, Shanhaiguan General Soldier and other generals talk.Liu Kang asked these generals not only to guard Shanhaiguan, but also to pay attention to the situation outside the pass. When the crisis came, they had to send troops to help Zhang Gui.It's just that Liu Kang was not worried about Japanese pirates attacking Liaodong at the time, but worried that the Tartars would invade outside the pass and Zhang Gui would be unable to support himself alone.Those generals, like Zhang Gui, were Liu Kang's disciples and confidantes, so naturally they dared not disobey his words.Most likely after returning to Shanhaiguan, they made secret preparations and sent a team to quietly leave the customs and stationed near the Daling River in case the Tartars went south in a large scale.The area outside the pass was sparsely populated. After leaving the Shanhai Pass, this army carefully approached Liaoyang Mansion, but no one noticed.Occasionally, the people saw it and reported it to the government, but those officials didn't take it to heart.Until Xu Yingyang sent Jin Yiwei to rush back to the capital to report the letter, he must pass through Shanhaiguan on the way.The General Soldier of Shanhaiguan knew that Japanese pirates were invading Liaodong, and immediately mobilized troops to Dongliao County for rescue.The soldiers and horses that were previously hiding near the Daling River were not too far from Dongliao County, as long as the Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief sent someone to ride fast horses around the clock to give orders to them to rush to Dongliao County I am afraid that the aid will come faster than Zhang Gui.

Thinking of this, Li Qiufeng finally let out a sigh of relief.It's just that Murong Danyan, Qi Jiu, Wang Xiaoyu, Jin Yulou and others didn't know the reason, and they were still surprised and uncertain.At this moment, seeing the officers and soldiers on the other side of the river give way to a passage, many men kept piling up planks on the bank. They didn't know what these people were going to do, so they looked at each other in blank dismay, their faces full of surprise.
